Hello, our case changed today from “refused” to “application received” and went from immigrant to nonimmigrant status. Do you know what this could mean? 

This is normal and a good sign.  While the application is processed by the immigrant visa unit, it is actually a non-immigrant visa that is printed by the non-immigrant visa unit.  So, the switch from immigrant to non-immigrant status is needed before the visa can be printed.  It is usually the last step done just before vIsa printing -- which is, hopefully, the case for your application now.

Thanks so much! The case changed to administrative processing, but that’s usually a good sign in this situation right?
